Problems solved by technology

Although there are razor blades that can be received on a universal head, many razor blades can only be received or a proprietary head.

The bath and shower are not convenient for the use of cake soap shaving lather with a mug and brush.

If the mug is dropped, it can break, since they are normally made of ceramic material.

In addition, the mug can chip the bathtub or shower tile.

The aerosol can has a disadvantage in that, if it is kept in the shower or around the tub, it gets wet and the metal of the aerosol rust causing rust stains in the tile grout and the like.

One of the problems that is encountered by people when traveling is the amount of space required for their shaving gear including the razor blade with its frame and the shaving lather source, whether it is soap cake shaving lather applied with a brush or shaving lather applied from a flexible tube or shaving lather applied from an aerosol can.

Another problem is that when people shave around the bathtub or shower, the separate components, the razor blade with handle and the source of the shaving cream, take up space which is normally in a premium around a bathtub or in a shower stall.

Many compositions such as shaving cream, cleaning preparations, and the like, are thick or gelatinous materials that cannot easily be removed from a rigid bottle.

The tube and tool or implement frequently get separated, and thus when the user wants to use the composition, they cannot find the implement or tool or vice versa.

In addition, because of the relatively low cost for many compositions, tools are made cheaply and skimpily and do not have and adequate handle.
